Update on Stoney-Just got back from visiting with him and he is doin good. He is in pretty rough shape but doing good considering. He has 7 broken ribs, 2 of which were broken in multiple places and putting pressure on his spleen and one of them punctured the membrane around his lung. They have completed surgery on the ribs and plated/pinned them back together so they are no longer putting pressure on anything. Because the membrane around the lung was punctured fluid was allowed to get in and they were worried about the lung collapsing but it did not. They now have a tube into that area and have it mostly drained but left the tube in to allow it to continue to drain. He also fractured his scapula but they don't think they will have to do surgery on it. The doc said there is enough muscle back there that they are pretty sure it will stay put until healed. He will have to spend 4-5 days in the hospital here in SLC and then drive home. They wont allow him to fly due to the lung issue so his wife and a friend that was out there helping him drove all the stuff back to California and his wife will fly back to Utah tomorrow night and then drive him home once he is released.
"Onto the rest of the story-He was hauling arse!!! He said that they were 12 mile an hour faster in the first mile than any of there previous runs and he was in 5th seeing about 17-18 lbs of boost when he went down. He says it was probably his fastest run and that he is pretty sure he was north of the 200mph mark when he went down. He said the track was pretty loose and some of the big race cars had put some pretty good ruts in it so he was trying to stay all the way to the edge. He was headed over to the edge when he saw a rut and ended up hitting it which resulted in some pretty bad head shake and then the tank slap started. He said it was slapping stop to stop and he could see he was coming up on one of the signs on the side of the track so he tried not to look at it so he wouldn't go that direction, that's when he got launched off and the bike went down on the left side and didn't flip but just slid. Unfortunately Stoney still hit the sign with his body and that's what caused most of the injuries. He did have a couple cameras mounted, unfortunately one was on the left side by the intercooler and may have not survived but the other was mounted on top of the fuel tank and he hopes to be able to recover some footage from it.
Overall it turned out better than it could have so he is staying positive and I told him everyone here is pulling for him and he says thanks, he really appreciates all the support everyone here has given him."
